Looking Back

Prior to establishing ferry+, we owned a company called travellog systems. All ferry+ personnel were previously involved in the development of a range of integrated reservations systems for ferry operators, and railway companies on a global basis through working with travellog systems.

Our core skill set is centred on our general experience of reservations and ticketing, particularly for ferry operators. Specifically, this experience encompasses the design, building and implementation of large scale ferry reservation systems.

Our experience, combining the design, development and implementation of systems for many major ferry operators worldwide, resulted in many customers including:

Buquebus, Spain

Clipper Navigation, USA

Emeraude Line, France

Fast Cat, New Zealand

Ferry Maroc, Morocco

HSD, Norway

Interisland Ferries, New Zealand

Irish Ferries, Ireland

Merchant Ferries, UK

P&O Scottish Ferries, UK

Red Funnel Ferries, UK

SeaFrance, France

TT Lines, Australia

Wightlink Ferries, UK

Other major implementations undertaken were for rail operators and include:

TranzRail, New Zealand

Great Southern Railway, Australia

Rail Europe, France

Alaskan Rail, USA

We also provided the system to Eurotunnel for their ‘shuttle’ operation which carries passenger and vehicles (cars, vans and coaches) on the train under the English Channel from Folkestone to Calais.

As individuals, we have a proven track record for innovation in the use of technology for ferry operators and major milestones achieved include:

First Unicorn (EDI) requesting system

First combined Unicorn (EDI) host and requesting system

First integrated tour and ferry system

First ferry Internet reservations system

Multi time zone handling

Multi sector reservations

Multi lingual application software

Integrated freight system

Integrated check-in

Integrated deferred revenue

Integrated point of sale system

We have also been deeply involved with technical standards within the travel industry in general and in particular with the Unicorn EDI standards. We have also chaired the Travel Technology Initiative (TTI) Unicorn standards committee which controls the messaging standards used in the Unicorn protocol.
